Ramin Karimloo Will Join Kerry Ellis & More in UK Premiere of MURDER BALLAD

An all-star cast will bring MURDER BALLAD across the pond later this year.

According to The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye, Tony and Olivier nominee Ramin Karimloo will join Kerry Ellis and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt in the Sam Yates-helmed production as Tom. Norman Bowman has also joined the cast as Michael.

MURDER BALLAD is currently scheduled to run 29th September - 29th October 2016 at the Arts Theatre.

The production is described as:

"Sara, Tom and Michael are three New Yorkers caught in a secret love triangle that could tear their lives apart. Life has not dealt any of them the cards they wanted, and Sara is stuck in the middle, torn between her downtown past and her uptown future. Is the one that got away really worth risking everything for?

But in the true tradition of all great murder ballads, when songs of love-gone-wrong are sung, blood must be spilled. The question is...by whom?

Fresh from making a critically acclaimed killing off-Broadway, Murder Ballad is a razor-sharp tale of modern relationships, abandoned dreams and treachery in the big city. Written by the award-winning Julia Jordan with music and lyrics by singer-songwriter Juliana Nash, this is a boldly brilliant and explosive new musical that's set to be London's hottest new sensation."

Karimloo is best known for playing Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES in London, on tour in Canada, and on Broadway, and the title role in the West End's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, as well as its sequel LOVE NEVER DIES. He also took the stage in PRINCE OF BROADWAY in Japan last year and was recently seen in Manhattan Concert Productions' THE SECRET GARDEN and Vancouver Opera's EVITA.
